In today’s episode of the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast I am once again joined by cash game crusher, Youtuber, and podcaster Trevor Savage.

I got so consumed by Trevor’s story in our first conversation that I forgot to ask him any questions other than “Tell me about your poker journey”.

Today, we more than make up for that and then some as he’s about to throw down Greatness Bomb after Greatness Bomb.

As a short aside, I’m a little worried about the continuity of this episode because right in the middle of recording I had a gremlin in my internet connection and it just kept dropping over and over and over again.

For a little mental imagery, it got so bad I actually left my house so that I could run around my neighborhood and find the Comcast guy who was making our lives miserable. I did find him and, shockingly, he pressed a button and my internet came back like it was no big deal.

I highly doubt you’re ever going to hear a Comcast ad on this podcast because they make ACR look like customer service gods.


In today’s episode, you’re going to learn:

The most unexpected thing to come from Trevor’s journey through poker.
What Trevor believes is the most high impact thing you can do to improve your poker game.
How Trevor maintains balance as a father and poker professional.
And much, MUCH more!

So without any further ado I bring to you an amazing man, top-shelf cardplayer, and unbelievably patient spirit Trevor Savage.

In today’s episode Twitch legend JNandez is BACK with your promised follow-up Part 2 conversation and you ought to prepare yourself for a relentless onslaught of Greatness Bombs.

Since Part 1 was an exploration of Fernando’s poker origin story (And if you missed that episode, I highly suggest you go check it out right now), today Fernando is going to be going deep answering some of your favorite Chasing Poker Greatness questions.

I don’t know why but I was a little concerned heading into this conversation that we’d rip through the questions at supersonic speed and leave you with a shortened episode. I ought to have known better.

Fernando’s philosophy on poker and life align so much with my own that I’m pretty sure we could do a weekly episode and never run out of interesting things to talk about.

In today’s episode, you’re going to learn:

- Fernando’s process for mapping out his days
- How he goes about improving his poker game on a daily basis
- How he goes about addressing his weaknesses.
- And much, MUCH more!

So without any further ado, I bring to you a very special Part 2 episode with the founder of PLO Mastermind and all-time great Twitch poker streamer, Fernando “JNandez” Habegger.

Today’s guest on the Chasing Poker Greatness podcast is the winner of the 2004 WSOP Main Event and Author of “Winning Tournament Strategies” Greg “Fossilman” Raymer.

Before I dive too deep into the intro, big thanks for D&B Poker publishing for putting this interview together (As well as the current & future CPG episodes with Amanda Botfeld, Ashley Adams, and Tricia Cardner).

In the world of poker, “Fossilman” is a living legend.

I remember the exact moment in time I was watching the 2004 WSOP Main Event with my old roommates. The Moneymaker boom had just begun and the WSOP was primetime must-see-TV on ESPN.

That was the year David Williams burst onto the scene, Josh Arieh became a household name if your household loves poker, and “Action” Dan Harrington went to back-to-back Main Event final tables.

It was a great year for poker.

Something that may be a little underappreciated today is Greg’s 2005 ME run one year later where he nearly defended his title but ultimately finished in 25th place.

I hope you’re ready and chomping at the bit to take a trip back to the golden age of poker.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

Why Greg thinks limit poker is underappreciated and wishes more limit games were spread.
Greg’s hilarious poker origin story after first learning how to count cards playing Blackjack.
Why Greg believes theory ought to be learned before tactics.
And much, MUCH more!

So without any further ado, I bring to you the patent attorney turned poker legend Greg “Fossilman” Raymer.

Today’s guest on the podcast is MTT wizard and PokerCoaching.com coach Matt Affleck.

Matt has over $4 million in live and online tournament cashes in his career with no plans on slowing down anytime soon.

Just a few of his career highlights include:

- A gold medal victory in a $3,150 SCOOP even for $550k.
- A $264k victory in the $2,500 main event at the Coco Poker Open.
- And a $139k victory in a $1,500 event at the Wynn Fall Classic.

Matt was very easy to talk to and his pure passion for the game shines through bright and clear. It’s easy to see why he’s been able to sustain success such a high level of success for as long as he has.

Also, to give you a little more perspective as to how Matt operates, here’s a little behind-the-scenes tidbit: After we stopped recording Matt wanted to pick my brain on some different coaching techniques and methodologies and we ended up talking shop for maybe another 30 minutes after the recording stopped.

I only mention this because, in my humble opinion, this is the trait of a human being who pursues excellence in whatever venture they dive into. If you truly want to draw from a deeper well in the avenue in which you’re Chasing Greatness, finding folks who are already deeper into the forest than you and asking their opinion is one of the most impactful things you can do to expedite the learning process.

With that said, today you’re going to learn:

- A Greatness Bomb from Matt on efficiently using solvers to improve your MTT game.
- Wise words on how to structure your off-days so that you can maintain your energy levels.
- A hilarious story about the odd place in which Matt was sitting when he won his SCOOP for over $550k (Here’s a hint, there was no celebration).
- And much, MUCH more!

So without any further ado, I bring to you longtime MTT crusher Matt Affleck.

Today’s guest is high stakes cash game LEGEND and BEAST Sean Snyder.

Sean is, in his own words, one of the “poker misfits” who regularly plays the biggest mixed games stakes spread in his home city of San Diego.

Sean was suggested to me by one of my favorite humans in the poker world, DGAF, and you’re going to see straight away that birds of a feather flock together.

Sean is brutally honest and forthcoming about his journey playing cards that will, of course, lead us down the path of drunken DGAF stories, the time Sean went broke after spending many years playing $400-$800 mixed games and had to start over playing the $50 NL games on Ignition, and then his eventual resurgence to the high stakes games he was born to play in.

In this episode you’ll learn:

- Why tournament results can be extremely misleading.
- Sean’s #1 advice for having a sustainable poker career (Besides the standard DGAF line of … don’t).
- How Sean has built up multiple 6 figure bankrolls.
- The benefits of learning the mixed games.
- And much, much more.

So, without any further ado, I bring to you my conversation with the one-of-a-kind Sean Snyder.

My guest today has had a tremendous influence on the game of poker both online and off through his perspectives on game strategy, coaching techniques, mental health, and more.

My conversation today is with pro poker player, coach, and author, Tommy Angelo.

Tommy has been playing poker professionally since the mid 80’s, preferring to play almost exclusively in live cash games. Having already accrued more than a decade of pro poker experience when most people were just beginning to discover and play the game, he quickly found himself with a successful coaching career as the popularity of poker began to grow and online games exploded.

Still one of the most popular books among serious poker players, Tommy’s first book, Elements of Poker, was released in December of 2007. Since then he’s written four more books on poker and one on the topic of meditation — something he has practiced daily without missing a day for more than 15 years.

Tommy has also either written or regularly writes for many popular poker publications including Poker Digest, PokerPages.com, Bluff Magazine, and PokerNews as well as being a regular poster on the 2+2 poker forums — where, by the way, he inadvertently became the creator of the name “the hijack” for the seat at the table just before the button and cutoff.

He has coached some of the most well-known professional players in poker over the years and is highly regarded among them for his unique way of looking at the game and his invaluable advice about how to deal with the tough mental aspects of playing cards for a living.

During our talk, you’ll hear countless bits of wisdom that will undoubtedly help guide you on your path to poker greatness.

Thanks again for listening. And now...Mister Tommy Angelo on Chasing Poker Greatness.
